Hello everyone.Just thought I would drop in to say this project sounds like it's going to be one nice lake when complete.RangersE I think you got the info that you need to do a great job on this project there is something that I would like to add as far as construction.If you want the trees in your lake you might be asking for problems down the road.I have seen cases where this proved to be a mistake.The trees have a root system they spread out over years of growth they find the easy path to water nutrients,ect.sometimes this path goes right to a sand layer.I try to take the trees out of the bottom of a lake get the root system out then put back the stucture that you want.Top soil and all nutrient rich soil should be removed then compact the bottom this will keep your algae growth or unwanted plants in check.Try to angle the banks to avoid erosion and mowing all the way to the water is a plus if you don't have a weed eater that fits your hands just right.The spillway idea is a good one.I like to put these in beacause I have never had to drain a pond to fix a spillway.This is not the case with the pipe system.There is alot to be said about not having that ugly looking pipe sticking out of your lake.The thought of SMB Hello!!!
